Last night I realized that Hudson the wonder dog was planning a night out before we turned in. I called her in from the backyard and she emerged from a favorite spot under a giant forsythia. I might have considered indulging her desire to be a wild dog for the night, but it was pretty wet out there, though this clearly bothered me more than it did her.

So I approached the cashier at Best Buy, copy of Witcher 2 in hand (they surprisingly had around 25 copies on the shelf), and was peremptorily asked, "Do you have a Best Buy Reward Zone card?" To which I replied, "No, but I do have this!" (I flashed the $10 gift card received with purchase of Portal 2). As she was processing my gift card, she handed me another one I apparently was due for purchasing Witcher 2.
